Israel has strongly rejected international criticism over its plan to vastly expand military control of the Gaza Strip.
The decision has sparked condemnation from close allies, including the UK, France, and most notably Germany, which has announced it will halt military exports destined for use in Gaza.
That's being seen as a bold step by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has long been regarded as a strong supporter of Israel.
Israel's Defense Minister said countries that condemned and threatened sanctions would not weaken Israeli resolve. CGTN correspondent Jonathan Regev reports from Tel Aviv.
